Concerns About Ideological Influence in Medical Treatment
Medical organizations are being criticized for allowing ideological commitments to overshadow the oath to 'first do no harm', veering away from the traditional focus on patient care and autonomy. This shift is exemplified by medical schools altering oaths to include social justice themes instead of patient-centric principles, raising concerns about bias in treatment based on patients' characteristics or beliefs.
